Ah, the Recycle Bin … it always sits on the desktop waiting for your old files.  Don't ask me why but I think the Recycle Bin deserves more attention.  I don't know how many times I have helped end users recover files from the trash.  Often used but misunderstood … Here I will demonstrate a few easy tips to customize the Recycle Bin in Vista.

Rename Recycle Bin - Right Click the desktop icon and select Rename from the menu.  Now type in what you want to call the icon.

Resize Recycle Bin - Right Click an open area on the desktop and select View and choose Classic, Medium, Large.

Unfortunately this method will resize all the desktop icons.  I have not discovered a way to resize only select icons … but I am looking!
